Neglected Books pick via Harehunterfield – A Dragon’s Life by Walker Hamilton (128p.) / Published after Hamilton’s death at 35. Samson, an old and unsuccessful actor, wanders through multiple circles of suburban English hell in a dragon costume he’s stolen. Funny & sad in equal parts.
Randy Resnick pick – Squeeze Me by Carl Hiaasen
Nihilistic Wrong Hordak pick – Half through The Axman’s Carnival by Catherine Chidgey / CW: domestic abuse / Cover says: delightful, imaginative. I’d add Chidgey, realistically, taints the humor & fun with an omnipresent specter of stochastic violence & bullying. It’s emotionally exhausting, to me, because it’s so sell written.
